Qingyuan Mountain and Water Secret Spot Check-in

Visited Qingyuan Nanxia and was amazed by the supernatural scenery here! It’s like a real-life cover of National Geographic 🏞️ I recommend setting aside at least half a day to fully immerse yourself in its grandeur~ 📍Qingyuan Nanxia Guide: 1️⃣ The best viewing spot is in the middle section of the stone slab steps trail (about a 1-hour walk), where you can overlook the entire canyon landscape and the winding Beijiang River. Every photo you take looks like an Instagram masterpiece. 2️⃣ Be sure to wear non-slip sports shoes! Some sections are steep with loose stones, and there are no railings in the scenic area, so be careful. 3️⃣ The best lighting is 2 hours after sunrise and 3 hours before sunset, when you can see the Tyndall effect of sunlight penetrating the canyon and reflecting on the river 🌅 4️⃣ Local people sell freshly picked fruit (longan season is super sweet) next to the parking lot at the entrance, perfect for replenishing energy after the hike. 💡Useful Tips: ▫️Drive and navigate to "Qingyuan Nanxia Parking Lot," about 1.5 hours from Guangzhou city center. ▫️No entrance fee but the area is not fully developed; it’s recommended to go with companions and avoid wild paths. ▫️Remember to bring mosquito repellent in summer! There are many small insects in the woods. This place is perfect for relaxing and taking photos. The river breeze and bird songs help you calm down completely. When you see the changing light and shadows in the canyon, you’ll truly believe nature has healing magic ✨
